Instead, it was relocated to the entrance of Tomorrowland, and placed on a ground level, thus making the ride the new focal point as guests step from the main plaza of Disneyland into Tomorrowland. The Astro Orbiter was planned to be placed where the Rocket Jets were, but weighed too much for the current building. The new version is a replica of the Orbitron, Machines Volantes at Disneyland Paris. The new form of the attraction opened one year later as Astro Orbitor.
This version remained open until 1997 when it closed for renovations with the rest of Tomorrowland. The focal point of this version was its replica Saturn V/NASA-themed rocket in the center. This version was located on top of the new PeopleMover platform and was accessible from ground level via an elevator. The attraction returned in August 1967 as the Rocket Jets. The name lasted until September 1966, when the attraction was closed to make room for the new renovated Tomorrowland. After this dispute, the name was changed to Tomorrowland Jets.

The name Astro Jets was changed in 1964 when United Airlines, as a new park sponsor (sponsoring "The Enchanted Tiki Room"), contended the name was free advertising for American Airlines' coast-to-coast Astrojet service. The attraction stood between the Submarine Voyage and Rocket to the Moon. The "jets" made a 50-foot circle around a large red-checkered rocket and guests were able climb upwards of 36 feet in their ride vehicles from the ground level they were boarded at. The attraction was made by Klaus Company Bavaria and similar to several versions found in traveling carnivals.
